The Cup of Redemption

With the third cup of wine we recall the second promise, the second stage,
of our liberation, the actual rescue from slavery. Here, we think about the heros of our time, rescuing others from slavery.

Who are the people in our time working towards for justice? Who is fighting for freedom?
What have I done this past year to further freedom? How can I take inspiration from those taking steps towards a better world?

In their honor, and in honor of all the people of the world who have joined in the
struggle for peace, for freedom, and to make the world a better place in which to
live and work, we drink the second cup.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אַדָנָי אֱלהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעולָם בּורֵא פְּרִי הַגָּפֶן

Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, borei p'ree hagafen

We praise God, Ruler of Everything, Who creates the fruit of the vine.

Drink the 2nd glass of wine!
